A. Introduction-
Students will be asked about their weekend, and the teacher will
ask one student to give a recap of what they covered last class. The
teacher will ask them to give the definition for the word audience
and purpose, before starting the slide show. |
|
|
B. Development-
The teacher will start the power point which will give the definition
of audience and purpose. The teacher will tell the students if their
definitions were close or if it was incorrect. Students will take
notes as the slide show is going on. While they are taking notes,
the teacher will be writing a couple of sentences on the board as
practice.
|
|
|
C. Practice-
The students will be placed into groups of four. They will have
to do the two sentences on the board, then come up with five different
sentences as a group. Each person in the group will write down the
sentences on a separate sheet of paper, which will be used in another
activity. |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
After spending 10 minutes in their groups, students will return
to their original seats and the teacher will collect their papers.
Students will have to identify the audience and purpose in their peers'
sentences as their classwork. |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
If the students are having a hard time understanding audience and
purpose, the teacher will make more sentences and go over them with
the entire class. |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
Throughout the lesson, the teacher will informally assess the students
through body language, class participation, and peer worksheet answers. |
|
|
G. Closure-
If time remains, students can start to work on their homework in
class, which will be to identify the audience and purpose in each
sentence, (if there are any). They are to finish the rest at home
and hand it in at the beginning of the next class. They will be encouraged
to use the worksheets handed out in class as references. |
|

|

as to what they need to work on. Also, if there is anyone in the class
